    poppop,s M37 restore thread

    So we can safely assume that Little Truck will have a similar sized playmate at SSGR13. right. . . . . . .

    Rod Bolts

    If someone will send me samples of each, I will get the chemistry and mechanical properties of each, then we will have something to compare with.

    More engine problems (Documentation of testing fuel system, failure of Hyd Head)

    I am with Gimp, sounds like a quill shaft issue, best I recall there is a tension pin that holds the gear to the shaft. Key here is that you said high EGT, the indicates late timing and that can be the slipped quill. To add the part, if running straight WMO it adds load to the HH system and...

    How much can a 5 ton tow?

    Even the 211-10-1 (newer release) has the M-39 at 30k, OR are they only using the off road numbers and are going with run whatever on highway? What is on the data plates? Guys with an 813?

    How much can a 5 ton tow?

    M39 series are listed in the 211-10 as 30,000# towed Highway, and 15,000# cross country, (same as the data plate in Squirt) I would have assumed the 800's would have been the same, oh well... This also requires that you stay with the max tongue weight of 3000# highway and 1500# cross country...

    Turning Fuel Up on a "G Code" Injection Pump - Video

    The manual calls for loading the truck by applying brakes and pulling the RPM down to 2400 for full load testing. Curious just what EGT and boost you get at full load. Is the EGT pre or post turbine?

    Usmc restoration

    Gotta love those wives that allow/support/tolerate our green addiction. Getting parts from them is just extra bonus. (Mine required that when when we were looking for a replacement truck that is "must" be a winch truck...) Did I say Very Nice?

    Usmc restoration

    Very Nice. You indicated that it you converted it from Army to USMC, did you make and add the front clips and the rear lift extensions or find them at one of the suppliers? Very Nice, or did I already say that.....

    Anybody added a muffler to the 5-ton multifuels?

    Sorry the following are the only other 2 pictures. The muffler is made by AERO, is designed for diesel applications, actually has negative back pressure due to the foil design internal. One of the pictures shows the burn area where the foil is located. All stainless so heat is not an issue nor...

    Anybody added a muffler to the 5-ton multifuels?

    Squirt has one, it is an Aero, and works fine, no muffs needed with the window up, but still loud with the window down.

    11.00 Michelin XL vs Goodyear G177

    Ferro is spot on about the good wear. 50K miles is what I am looking for.Clearance is not an issue for Squirt, but you cannot run inner rear chains. I thought there was some other issue., the tread contact patch is significantly wider on the 177.

    mounting a Warn 18000 lb winch

    Anyone got an old copy of "Winchtest.com" You do not want to compare a PTO winch to and commercial electric. Completely different performance expectation. Installation looks very nice.

    11.00 Michelin XL vs Goodyear G177

    ???? What is the problem with the G177's on the rears? Drop me a note on this. I have been pleased with the operation of the 177's on Squirt, and they are very good in off-road conditions, and have plenty of load capacity.

    Changing oil in deuce for first time

    There are several vendors here that have oil filters and there is a parts cross reference. You will not go wrong with the Rotella. Old oil filtration is a full search function. Needs to be better than a coffee filter. How long has it been since the oil was changed??????? If you have more than...

    max HP out of a 465 multi fuel?

    But back to the topic. What is the anticipated max realistic HP that we might see from a MF? Anyone ever run a turned up multi on a dyno? We have to keep in mind the duty cycle for the engine. In a 13,000# truck an 80 to 100% duty cycle is going to be required. The multi has a 100% duty cycle...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    The pump TM lists different part numbers but identifies no differences for the HH. It is not considered a serviceable component and is to be replaced as a unit. This is due to the lapped fit of the piston. With the exception of an older model that has an extra oil passage and that can be...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    Do not forget that the LDS-1A uses the ONE-HOLE injectors with the Code B pump. The LDS-1 uses the TWO-HOLE injector, which was a change and not done initially. The TM (226-34) is very specific that the -1 must have two-hole injectors installed. The pumps (Code B and Code F) are...

    Quick introduction and questions on Headgasket.

    Good luck on the repair. That will be a great Christmas present. Your trailer tow home picture would be a great as to the trailer posting for what NOT to do. Like in exceeding maximum allowable gross weight and maximum tongue weight, just for starters. But then, I see things like than as a...
